Two friends at different locations want to communicate with each other by sending low energy signals. which of the following methods can they use to communicate? a) produce x-rays using colliding electrons and send them to radios, which capture sound b) send messages using infrared radiation, which travel in the form of waves c) send radio waves through intervening media like radio and television d) produce sound waves using microwaves from heated objects

The atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm and of chlorine is 100 pm. the ionic radius for na+ is 102 pm and for cl– is 181 pm. in going from na to cl in period 3, why does the atomic radius decrease while the ionic radius increases? a. the inner electrons in the sodium cation shield its valence electrons more effectively than the inner electrons in the chloride anion do. b. the inner electrons shield the valence electrons more effectively in the chlorine atom than in the chloride anion. c. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a smaller effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. d. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a larger effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. e. monatomic ions are bigger than the atoms from which they are formed.
